International Tourism Fair opens in Belgrade

There are two flights a day between Belgrade and Moscow.

Actually Belgrade isn't that poorly connected at all to the rest of the world, and it's the best of all the ex-yu countries in terms of airlines connectivity, and it's only getting better.

This is all very, very nice. But the truth of the matter is that Serbia is less accessible than most other places in the world. You can advertise Serbia all you want, but if air transit only caters to random, irrelevant places like Libya, Tunisia and Switzerland then of course you will never have tourism. I have a friend who would like to go just to experience it.... But its too bad that he would have to go from Beijing/Tianjin to Moscow to catch a WEEKLY flight from Moscow to Belgrade. And I won't even start about people who want to enter the place from North America, God forbid.

Force Air Serbia to ditch Tunisia and make routes to densely populated metropolises in other continents that are actually known to have a little money for a change. And force that cheapskate O'Leary to include Belgrade as one of Ryanair's destinations. Maybe then Serbia might have something of a tourist industry.
